Honey might usually be something slathered on toast, but Mnuka honey has been making a name for itself far beyond the breakfast table. Thought by many to have antibacterial, antioxidant and hydrating properties, the New Zealand ingredient has become a popular choice in skincare.

Wellness brand Melora has harnessed high-grade New Zealand Mnuka honey in a skincare range designed to help support skin through seasonal changes. With summer bringing everything from sun exposure and dehydration to environmental stress, the collection offers a simple way to give skin some extra care, reports the Daily Record.

The range includes a Purifying Mnuka Wash, Mnuka Moisturiser and Restorative Mnuka Balm, with products receiving praise from shoppers dealing with concerns including psoriasis, eczema and rosacea. Better still, the complete Melora 3-in-1 Mnuka Skincare Bundle is currently 30% off, bringing it down to 38.98.

Summer can be tough on skin, with everything from extra sun exposure to dry air on planes and the blast of air conditioning taking its toll. Meloras Mnuka Skincare range has been created with this in mind, offering an easy way to help keep skin feeling comfortable, hydrated and cared for without piling on a complicated routine.

The range includes three everyday essentials designed to cleanse, moisturise and restore. Its worth remembering, however, that skincare products are not a substitute for medical treatment where this is needed.

Product Description

The set contains the brands Purifying Mnuka Face Wash, Mnuka Moisturiser Cream and Restorative Mnuka Balm. Powered by premium New Zealand Mnuka honey, the trio is designed to cleanse, hydrate and help support the skin barrier,

The Mnuka Moisturiser alone normally costs 18.99. But for shoppers who snap up the bundle, it works out at less than 13. The three Melora products can be worked into both morning and evening routines, but as with any new skincare product, shoppers are advised to carry out a patch test on the inner forearm before using it for the first time.

What makes Mnuka honey different from the jar in your kitchen cupboard is that it comes from bees in New Zealand that pollinate the native Leptospermum scoparium, or Mnuka, bush. This is particularly known for its levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), a compound associated with its antibacterial properties.

And its not just skincare where Mnuka honey is making an appearance. The ingredient has also found its way into haircare, including Dr Organic Manuka Honey Shampoo, currently 5.59 at Holland & Barrett, which is formulated to nourish and condition the hair while helping leave the scalp feeling smooth.

Beyond being a wellness component, it also serves as a natural enhancement to daily skincare, with Mnuka honey drawing hydration into the skin and helping maintain it throughout the day. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe redness and irritation, making it ideal for skin that is parched, delicate, or susceptible to eczema and minor blemishes.

Following their experience with the Melora Skincare range, one individual who is currently battling eczema said: "I have severe eczema. Many other creams help but Melora Manuka Honey moisturiser seems to be able to calm and heal the 'breakout' significantly faster."

Another said they were 'surprised' by the results., saying; "Was surprised at how better my skin feels silky smooth and hydrated after using for a few days, always considered these things to be a gimmick, but it works."

A third customer who was suffering from psoriasis revealed: "I have psoriasis and I have been using creams etc from the doctors and nothing seemed to make a difference. After using this daily for two weeks I'm so happy to say it's made a massive improvement. My skin has softened and cleared!"

"Old pigmented scars are also lighter in colour despite using the cream for a few weeks. So the cream is helpful in the acute as well as the chronic phase."

Meanwhile, a buyer dealing with rosacea noted: "Having suffered with rosacea for years and spent a fortune on a variety of different creams and face washes, I can honestly say that this is the best product I have used.

"The face wash has a pleasant smell and a little goes a long way. Even though I have only been using this for about a week, the redness on my forehead, nose and chin have definitely improved. Also my skin generally looks better!".

One shopper remarked: "I was disappointed it has little or no fragrance." Though this actually makes the collection more suitable for those with sensitivities to potent scents.

Another purchaser appreciated the aroma of the products, stating: "I have been using Melora manuka honey face moisturiser for a while and keep buying it because it is the nicest moisturiser I have ever used.

"It smells lovely, sinks into my skin so easily yet still leaves it moisturised all day long without it being greasy. I am sure this moisturiser has had a very positive effect on my skin because it looks so much nicer now at aged 66."
